Who is looking for me?
What happened?
Chen Ping frowned when he was innocently interrupted during his practice. At the same time, I was a little confused as to who was knocking on the door.
"Crunch."
The wooden door opens.
When Chen Ping went outside the hospital, he was relieved to see that the visitor was a neighbor from this street.
There are five or six neighbors in total, all of whom have recently moved in after the disaster occurred some time ago. Chen Ping recognized these people and had met them all while doing volunteer work.
But they are not familiar with each other and only know each other by nodding.
"Fellow Taoists, do you want to see me if you have something to do?" Chen Ping smiled, etiquette first.
It was still snowing lightly at this time, and a biting cold wind was blowing. You could feel the obvious cold even if you stood outside for a long time.
This group of people hunched their necks to resist the cold wind, and the gas they breathed instantly condensed into frost in the air.
If you go out to meet someone in this kind of weather, if you are not a life-or-death acquaintance, there must be important matters.
Seeing Chen Ping coming out, the leading male monk said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's freezing cold today. We didn't have time to repair our house some time ago, but now we can't repair it. But the weather is rainy and snowy, and it's really untenable. Daoyou Chen lives alone in such a big house. House, can you spare two rooms for us to avoid the cold?"
For this?
Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
Judging from the rude manner in which you knocked on the door just now, it looks like I owe you money.
Before Chen Ping had time to answer, Xu Shi saw Chen Ping frown, and a middle-aged woman behind him said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, they all say that neighbors should help each other. This is what Senior Yu advocated. No one can live in your big house, so why don't you lend it to us for a winter? Don't be stingy."
The corners of Chen Ping's mouth twitched.
But they are all neighbors, he said nicely:
"To be honest with you fellow Taoists, I like to live alone in my life."
"If you come here, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully all night. Although your house is dilapidated, it can still block the wind. Or maybe some Taoist friends also repaired the house some time ago. You go Ask them?"
It is certain that the house is dilapidated and uncomfortable.
But even if they are monks, they won’t freeze to death.
Besides, he was used to being cautious.
With so many people living here, does he still want to rest peacefully? Do you want to practice exercises and spells?
Moreover, will these people seek money and kill themselves in the middle of the night? He doesn't know and doesn't understand.
He never gambled on people's hearts.
After hearing this, the middle-aged woman said again:
"There are only four renovated houses in this street. The other three houses are occupied by multiple people. Daoyou Chen lives alone. He should be alone."
"That's right, that's right. Senior Yu has always emphasized the need for neighbors to help each other. Of course Daoyou Chen is not a stingy person, right? We will naturally remember Daoyou Chen's kindness." One person agreed.
"You won't lose anything if you stay here for a while. We will leave after the winter." One person added.
"..."
Perhaps hearing the noise, Yu Lingchun poked her head out of her house and saw a group of people surrounding Chen Ping. She subconsciously took two steps forward and listened from a distance.
Then he frowned and paused.
He turned around and ran back to his house.
Outside the hospital.
Chen Ping's scalp was numb and he tried to maintain restraint:
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm used to living alone, so it's not convenient for me to borrow it from others. Fellow Taoists, please find other ways."
I never thought that these words would cause more dissatisfaction.
"You, fellow Taoist, seem to be harmonious on weekdays, why are you so heartless? This weather can kill people."
"Isn't this too unreasonable?"
"Today, you have to agree even if you don't agree..."
"..."
Chen Ping's blood pressure increased.
He knew that these people regarded him as a soft persimmon. There are four houses in this street that have been renovated, and there are four or five houses that are still intact. There are so many houses just for you. It seems that he has figured out his own situation and came with a certain mentality.
In the eyes of these people, whether it is strength or morality, they stand on the commanding heights.
So they're not even talking about giving temporary rent.
I just want to have sex for free.
Chen Ping said in a deep voice:
"roll."
A powerful roar, with the blessing of spiritual power, made the casual cultivators present tremble.
At the same time, Chen Ping swung his unsheathed long sword horizontally and directly used the modified Eighth Style of Breeze Nine Swords.
This variant of the move maintains its power without being recognizable to monks who have practiced Breeze Nine Swords.
As soon as the move was made, a crisp sound of "pop, pop, pop" was heard, and then the long sword returned to the waist again.
The six casual cultivators flew upside down a few meters away in the thunder.
The casual cultivator lying on the ground shook his head, looking confused.
...What's wrong with me?
...what happened?
...What kind of spell is this?
The leading casual cultivator felt his head was dizzy and touched his burning face. He had the highest level of cultivation and was the first to come to his senses and knew that he had been taken care of.
Looking at Chen Ping blankly, he knew that he had made a mistake.
He didn't see clearly how Chen Ping took action. He only saw Chen Ping's sleeves fluttering, and then he lay here.
... Just say, wear a robe and be willing to spend your own money to repair the house... How can this be something that a monk at the first level of Qi training can do?
...It turns out that the strength is hidden.
Totally untouchable.
Covering his burning and swollen face, he stood up shakily and prepared to leave.
You can only admit that you are unlucky.
At this moment, Yu Qingyi walked out, followed by a granddaughter who looked harmless.
Yu Qingyi walked outside the hospital with a gloomy face and said sternly:
"What's going on, everyone? Although I, Yu Qingyi, am old, I am not dead yet. Why do I come here to cause trouble? No one has the responsibility to take responsibility for your stupidity. You can't find the better shabby houses in the city by yourself?"
"This is the first time and the last time. If I see you again, this street cannot tolerate you."
"Get out of here, everyone."
The six casual cultivators were as silent as cicadas. They looked at Yu Qingyi and did not dare to say a word.
He turned around and glanced at Chen Ping, who was at ease. He felt his cheeks burning and shuddered again.
He nodded and bowed, and walked away dejectedly.
"Thank you, Senior Yu, for your help." After a few casual cultivators left, Chen Ping clasped his hands and thanked him.
He nodded to Yu Lingchun again.
Yu Lingchun pursed her lips. Seeing that the crisis was resolved, she walked to the side of the yard to play with some green plants that Chen Ping couldn't name.
Yu Qingyi smiled and said:
"No need to say thank you, it's just a small effort. However, the current situation is difficult, and there may not be many such things in the future. Fellow Daoist Chen should be more careful. Alas, in Lianyung City, I just hope that we can contact Qingyun Sect as soon as possible. "
Chen Ping nodded.
He naturally knows the fact that if he can no longer contact Qingyun Sect, the deterrent power of the five major families will not be much stronger.
I'm afraid there will be many restless days in the future.
"By the way, it's rare to see Senior Yu. I would like to ask Senior Yu something. Is there anyone in Lianyung City who is willing to teach others how to draw talismans?" Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask.
A few days ago, I tried to draw talisman by myself. It was quite difficult, so it was better to have someone show me how to do it.
He had already thought about it. In order to avoid what happened to Qi Jianglun from happening again, he would only learn the simplest and least valuable cleaning charm this time.
Never ask too many questions.
Just learn the cleansing talisman and you won't get burned.
As long as you get started with cleaning talismans and continue to accumulate experience, you won't have much of a problem learning other talismans on your own, as long as you spend more time.
Many techniques are universal.
"Chen Daoyou wants to learn to draw talismans?" Yu Qingyi was stunned for a moment.
"Exactly, I want to learn and give it a try."
